Godavari Bridge, Rajahmundry003

Bharath's excellent pictures of the new Godavari bridge prompted me to pull this one out. This WG 8902 of Rajahmundry shed hauling a load of 31 four-wheeler boxcars on the second Godavari bridge. What does the sign in Telugu say?

The old defunct Godavari bridge at Rajahmundry and next to it on the right is the new bridge for trains in Eluru-RJY direction. However passengers going to Eluru side use this bridge as they have to stop at Godavari station.
